| - 4.5 Stars!!
I am going to politely disagree with the gentleman who have reviewed this Food Lion before myself. Perhaps they have made some drastic changes since the last reviews... but I stopped here last night after work to stock up on some essentials and was blown away by the caliber of this place!
Starting in the fresh produce - everything is neatly organized in baskets. They have everything you are looking for plus more including organic options & rare finds such as avocado, tomatillos, plantains, fresh herbs, mescadine grapes, etc. Definitely everything that you would see at a Harris Teeter, but more organized.
Next to the Frozen Organic section. Holy tap-dancing Christ! Soy Ice-Cream?! And a lot of it?! For half the price of Earth Fare?! Be still my beating heart. It was love at first sight. Plus Gluten & Dairy-free dinner/breakfast items (i.e. boca, burritos, etc).
Directly behind the organic frozen food are more gluten/dairy/lactose free dry items such as pastas, granola bars, flour, cereal, and more.
Deli Counter, Meat Counter, Sea Food Counter, Bread Bins..... yes, yes, yes!
I won't bore you with the details of the other isles but just know that the international food selections can't be beat.
Picked up some Almond Milk, Muscle Milk Powder, and Burt's Bees chapstick and called it a night.
I went at approx. 7pm on a Thursday night and was one of the only people in the store. Check out was pleasant, the cashier asked me how my day was and then told me to come back to see them-to which I replied, don't you worry my friend!
All of that plus my Food Lions MVP card got me out of there for a weeks worth of groceries for half of what I intended to spend.
I fully back this Food Lion and have seen a drastic upward turn of a lot of other Food Lion's in the area.
